Fermata Psychotherapy
Mental Health Therapy & Counseling in Chicago

Get To The Root. Change From Within.

You Are Welcome Here. All Of You.

Are you thinking of starting therapy?

If you’re not living the life you’d like to live, if you feel stuck, anxious, lost, or unhappy with yourself or your relationships, we can help. You might feel burdened or confused by what’s going on around you or by your own thoughts and feelings. Or you might feel you are defined by other people’s expectations, unsure about what you truly need and want, or about how to find your voice and a sense of direction.

People choose to start psychotherapy and counseling for different reasons and everyone’s journey to change and growth is unique. Our Chicago therapists would love to hear from you. You don’t have to do it alone.
